What is layout?

Wife: “Honey are you still working with that auto layout

You DON’T setFrame: anymore
You DON’T setFrame: anymore You DECLARE a layout
You express relations between elements

Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
=> [x = 1, y = 1] Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4
=> [x = 1, y = 1] 2(x+5)-7 = 3(x-2) Linear equations
ax + by = c 2x + 2y = 4

Linear programming
Linear programming Solves equations with variables Looks for an objective
function
Auto Layout is a big objective function

DON’T think in terms of frames
